  4. It keeps raining - Fats Domino though I would probably put that in my box with me .
  5. Well I,ll be buggered dont know how they have done it , I,ve studied the footage and can confirm that theres not a Russ Winstanley in sight
  6. Dont know if it is the future of NS its a bit contrived and for the purpose of a film project rather than being a natural cultural phenomenem . But it is great to see young people dancing and makes a refereshing change from watching fat middle aged blokes with bad knees shuffling about like someones drunken uncle at a wedding . Before anyone starts I dance like Uncle Knobhead
  7. Infamy infamy the bastards have it infamy
  8. Hi Lorraine , It saddens me sometimes when I think of some of the artists that we hold in such high esteem may be unaware of the huge impact that they have had on our scene and our lives . During the 1970s were you aware of your influence on the British soul scene ? and when you found out about Northern soul what were your first impressions ? Thanks Mark
  9. Bloody hell I,m offline for a day or two and what happens Lorraine Chandler turns up fantastic Welcome aboard Lorraine and thanks for providing some of the soundtrack of my youth . All the best Mark
  10. Watching those kids dancing brilliant the other vid northern soul dance club was great aswell Ok I love the soul scene its kept me entertained for the last forty years but it and us has grown old so to see kids with energy dancing albeit a bit contrived makes a change from watching middle/old aged people dancing like Uncle Knobhead at a wedding ( I include myself in that last remark )
  11. Imagine for a moment if the media did get the scene , they would have sucked the life out of it by now . Despite the best efforts of RW and others to garner public interest, thankfully it aint gonna happen . Right on , Keep the faith
  12. Realy enjoyed reading that cheers . Funny thing though back in the day I allways found DG,s musings in blues and soul to be boring , no doubting the guys passion and knowledge though .
  13. Mr Burton absolutelly priceless
  14. brilliant . If I stand up to fast my head spins does that count ? never been able to spin or do the acrobatics , still enjoy dancing though .
  15. Just play the Snake you,ll be right

  19. Whitchurch and the Ritz those were the only ones I went to .
  20. " Sorry mate no trainers allowed ":thumbsup:
  21. The people on the Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers forum are up in arms about some cheeky northern monkeys putting Northern soul music over their precious footage on youtube . This bloody cheapskate rockband typical hippies
  22. Allways tell them you dont know . its easier . Anyway why are you even talking to people who dont know ?
  23. Esquires - And get away , all killer just brilliant . Marvelettes - Sophisticated Soul , poppy as hell but who cares ? Curtis Mayfield - Theres no place like America today - cant go wrong with Curtis brilliant . Amercan Gypsy - American Gypsy , a bit leftfield but ace all the same .
